RAG Grounding Audit Workflow
Use this workflow when RAG outputs feel noisy, weakly cited, or factually unstable across similar queries.
Quick Links
Step-by-Step Workflow
1. Simulate chunk strategy
Compare chunk size and overlap settings before reindexing.
Better chunking baseline for retrieval precision and recall.
Open RAG Chunking Simulator2. Prune noise and duplicates
Remove low-signal content that pollutes retrieval context.
Cleaner chunk pool for ranking and grounding.
Open RAG Noise Pruner3. Detect poisoned chunks
Flag chunks with injection, exfiltration, or suspicious instruction payloads.
Safer retrieval context set before answer generation.
Open RAG Context Poisoning Detector4. Score context relevance
Measure query-specific value of candidate chunks.
Ranked chunk candidates with clearer relevance signal.
Open RAG Context Relevance Scorer5. Map claims to evidence
Audit which claims are supported, weak, or unsupported.
Claim-level evidence table for review and fixes.
Open Claim Evidence Matrix6. Validate citation grounding
Check generated answer references for mismatch and drift.
Fast grounding diagnostics before user-facing release.
Open Grounded Answer Citation Checker

FAQ
Should I tune chunking or relevance scoring first?
Start with chunk strategy and noise pruning first, then score relevance on the cleaned chunk set for more meaningful signals.
How do I detect hallucination risk in RAG outputs?
Use claim-evidence mapping and citation checks on answers, then run hallucination risk checklist for broader risk posture.
